CSCMS Leadership Change

Mr. Gary Welker, the current Chairman of the Center for Supply

Chain Management Studies at Saint Louis University is stepping

down from his position at the end of this academic year (June 30,

2013) after successfully serving the position for 6 years. The

following are his remarks as he becomes the Advisory Board Chair

Emeritus. Mr. Welker remains as a Board Member for the Center

As I end my six year Chairmanship of Saint Louis University’s

Center for Supply Chain Management Studies (CSCMS), I have

been asked to share my thoughts/comments on the major CSCMS

accomplishments and provide some guidance for the incoming

Chairman.

CSCMS has become a structurally sound, efficient and financially viable organization.

This achievement was due in large part to the leadership and commitment of the Board

Members, the “behind the scene” support of the Center’s office staff and the Dean of John

Cook School of Business. Also, throughout my chairmanship the Center has been very

proactive in revising and adding supply chain programs to meet the current and future

business needs of Corporate America. The recent reinventing of the Advanced Supply

Chain program and the addition of the Product Safety program to the curriculum are great

examples of this proactive strategy that the CSCMS has taken. Because of the above

achievements, CSCMS is an excellent educational resource for supply chain personnel in

the St. Louis business community and at a very reasonable cost.

In addition to the Center’s educational expertise, the Center has served as an ideal

environment for Board and Steering Committee members to network with their peers on

supply chain issues and practices. Due to the networking capability the Center provides

and the efforts of the Professor and Director of the Center’s operation (Ik-Whan G. Kwon)

Ph.D., the Center has been very successful (more than 95%) in finding employment for

SLU MBA graduates with a concentration in Supply Chain Management.

In recognition of the above achievements and many others, Saint Louis University’s

Supply Chain Program has been ranked in the top 20 supply chain programs offered at all

academic institutions.

Recommendations for the Incoming Chairman

As in any successful business or organization the leader/chairman must lead by example

and be passionate in performing the chairman duties. There is an abundance of supply

chain talent on the Board and the Steering Committee; therefore, the chairman needs to

look for opportunities to challenge these two groups to continually add value to the

CSCMS academic programs and strategy plans.

In addition to managing the Board and Executive meetings, the chairman should make

every effort to attend other CSCMS functions. Finally there must be a timely and strong

communication line between the chairman and the Director of the Center’s operation; this

type of communication will ensure successful meetings and direction for the Center.

Global Cargo Networks (GCN) Visited the Center

A team of Global Cargo Networks visited the Center in the week of May 20, 2013 for

discussions about possible collaborative arrangement. Global Cargo Network, Inc.

(GCN) was established with the goal of developing an international cargo network

system. The system of 20 dedicated multi-modal cargo transfer and distribution hubs will

be supported by technology systems providing in-transit visibility and end to-end cargo

management in a time and cost effective manner. Shipments will utilize less crowded

airports with support systems to increase velocity and minimize transit delays.

The initial goal of this program is to establish a prototype GCN System at select

European, North American and Asian airports. This system will be used to test and

perfect multi-modal cargo operations and processes to optimize airport interchanges,

handling operations and local distribution. Emphasis will be placed on hub and spoke

operations along with rail and highway ground links. The implementation of this system

will provide complete and total service to all participants, service suppliers, shippers, and

consignees. Our key technological objective is to develop, showcase and deploy the core

hardware and software suite for the pilot program.

GCN is seeking academic cooperation in the areas of case study development with this

new model and internship opportunities once the system is in full operational. They

estimate the first cargo arrival in St. Louis in the first or second quarter of 2014.

The Center Announces a Major Curriculum Change to the Advanced Supply Chain Certificate Program

A review committee of our Advisory Board for the Center undertook an extensive

evaluation of the current Advanced Supply Chain Management certificate program. The

initial offering of the Advanced Supply Chain Management certificate program was in

2003. There have been hundreds of students that have earned the certificate, and we are

proud of being ranked 16th

by U.S. News and World Report. This review by the

committee is one of the key strategic initiatives undertaken by the Center to ensure that

we provide the best possible professional development programs for member employees

and others that attend our programs. We have used and will continue to use a continuous

program improvement process with feedback form students and others. Based on the

committee’s recommendations and approval by the Center Advisory Board we will

implement a new certificate program – the Integrated Supply Chain Management

Certificate program. Some of the changes are listed below.

Integrated Supply Chain Management Certificate Program

This program will use a format similar to our academic programs with a core set of

courses required and some electives. This new format will aid us in ensuring that the

program reflects the current and future challenges of supply chain management.

ISCM Program Requirements

Core Certificate Programs Requirements:

The Center offers a wide range of programs and has introduced some new concepts to the

professional development programs. The Integrated SCM program is built around a core

set of courses or modules (Integrated Supply Chain Management Concepts, Inventory

Management, Transportation/Warehousing Management and Strategic Sourcing) and

one or more electives. These advanced programs also require a course project as part of

the certificate process. When taking an advanced course the core must be taken in one

semester and depending on the program, the elective and project must be completed

within 18 months of the start of the program.

Elective Options:

Page 5: SLU John Cook School of Business Center for Supply Chain Management June  2013 Newsletter

5

Electives can be one or two days. If the elective is one day, it is included in the fee for the

core certificate program for which you are registered. In some instances a one day

elective such as Sales and Operations Planning, Reducing Supply Chain Variability,

Forecasting and other one day options will meet the certificate requirements. We also

offer a two day certificate program in Project Management, Lean Logistics, Change

Management and others under development. If a student decides to take both days, the

second day will be at the fee level of the selected program. The student would pay for one

day and be eligible to earn an additional certificate. This is always at the student’s option.

Electives must be declared and approved by CSCMS during the registration process. To

provide students with schedules for the programs and to aid in the planning for electives

we have expanded our course and program offerings calendar to 18 months. This will be

available on our web site as continue to process of full implementation of the Integrated

Supply Chain Management certificate program.

ISCM Program and center Highlights:

In order to reflect the significant curriculum changes the Center has re-titled the name

from Advanced Supply Chain Management to Integrated Supply Chain Management

(ISCM) and added electives to the ‘core’ program. There is extensive literature that

supports this change.

The John Cook School of Business is nationally recognized for supply chain

management certificate programs and leadership.

The Center offers a wide range of SCM and related programs.

The new certificate format allows flexibility and enables students to select an

elective or electives in their preferred fields.

The program is flexible and if a student’s travel or other commitments creates a

conflict and they cannot attend one of the modules, they simply take it the next

semester.

The programs use a continuous feedback process to ensure we are meeting student

needs and expectations which allow us to improve our programs.

Our faculty includes both high quality experienced practitioners and academics

from around the country.

While our programs are grounded in theory, our faculty transfers this theory into

applied knowledge that is usable in the workplace.

June 14, 2013: Awards ceremony for 2012 Fall and 2013 Spring Graduates in Advanced

Supply Chain Management and International Trade Management Certificate Programs.

General and Organizational Information

Walmart Energy Efficiency Program Achieves 20% Savings

The Walmart Energy Efficiency Program, started in 2009, was implemented to engage

with over 200 direct sourcing and private label factories in China and share the best

practices within the supplier community. This has led to these factories cutting their

energy consumption by a minimum of 20 per cent as of December 2012, saving

approximately 2.168 billion kWh, a number equivalent to powering 1.46 million homes

for an entire year.

This announcement was made in conjunction with the release of the annual Global

Responsibility Report (GRR) that encompasses Walmart’s global environmental, social

and corporate responsibility efforts throughout the world. As one of Walmart’s most

important markets, Asia has contributed significantly to the success of Walmart’s

responsibility efforts in 2012, highlighted by milestone achievements in energy savings,

food safety, hunger alleviation, and women’s economic empowerment.

As part of the Energy Efficiency Program, Walmart and its partners offered training,

organized roundtables, shared best practices and engaged regularly with suppliers

throughout the process. The project was also supported by Hong Kong Productivity

Council, a Hong Kong based government organization who’s International Performance

and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) was adopted as the initiative’s data analysis

methodology. The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE), an environmental

NGO that aims to curb environmental pollution in China’s manufacturing hubs, also took

part in the program. Based on the successful results, IPE recently ranked Walmart in the

top three among international and local companies that improve environmental

compliance in the supply chain in China.
